All -round collision in Nilambur

The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) supported independent MLA P.V. The separation between Anwar and the ruling Marxist Communist Party (CPI -M) is being held in Nilambur in Northern Malappuram district. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s government has only a few months to complete the second consecutive term, so the by -election in Nilambur has become a fight for both the ruling CPI (M) -led LDF and opposition party Congress -led UDF (United Democratic Front). The Congress has fielded former president of the Nilambur municipality Aryadan Shaukat, who is the son of senior leader of the late party Aryadan Mohammed, while the CPI (M) has expressed confidence in its state secretariat member M. Swaraj. Both traditional fronts have expressed confidence in their victory, while the BJP -led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) decided to field his luck by fielding lawyer Mohan George by profession, which was earlier associated with various groups of Kerala Congress.
